A Capitol Fourth

Did anyone else see the PBS special “A Capitol Fourth” this year? I like to watch it if I am not outside and they usually have top notch entertainment and a lot of patriotism. One thing you should know about Portland Firefly —she is very patriotic and I love my country very much.
Anyway my computer had been dead for over a week and it was just up and running and I had about 100 emails to deal with, so I thought that I’d listen to the program while I worked on the computer in the other room. I was so diasappointed in the main performers. They sounded like they were screeming and both Barry and Aretha were not at their best last night in DC. Still the orchestra and varied bands sounded great and were not disappointing in their performances.
Maybe if I had stayed and WATCHED them, they would have sounded better. I do have to say that the fireworks display was outstanding.. we payed for it! Hope you had a good Fourth of July!

Glad to hear your patriotic. It seems that is something that is passing away in our country! Sadly!
